Talk about thawing polar ice caps, rising sea levels, calving ice shelves… almost unbelievably, after many years, it seems the division between Susan and I has melted under the hot, dry sun that is the Summer of 2010.  Barely seven months ago, there was absolutely no indication that this turn of events was even remotely possible, but surely as I sit here now, I tell you… Susan and I are reconciled and we are friends, again.  Big deal?  Yes, it is… a very big deal.

We’ve exchanged some emails over the past several weeks, and filled in some of the gaps from over the past 25 years, including what it was that caused our friendship to suffer and fall apart; a lot of questions have finally been answered, and we’ve gained new perspective.  We’ve cleared the air, apologized for past hurts, and we’re ready now to move on and see where this renewed friendship will lead.
